Geothermal Heat Pump

Geothermal heat pumps (also called ground source heat pumps) circulate water through a system of underground pipes. These are installed in either a horizontal or vertical loop configuration. They can also be installed on properties where there is close proximity to a pond or lake.

The Geothermal heat pump can extract heat or cold from this water and pumps it into your home as appropriate. In the summer, the water temperature from the underground is almost always colder than the outside temperature; in the winter, it is almost always warmer. This makes the geothermal heat pump the most efficient heating and cooling option available. Like the air exchange heat pump, the geothermal heat pump contains standard air conditioning equipment that will cool the home. The benefits of Geothermal heat pumps to the homeowner are:

• The highest level of energy efficiency possible among all furnace/air conditioner/heat pump options
• Drastically reduced energy bills
• Energy rebates and reduced electric rates are offered on geothermal heat pumps from most electric utility companies
